Macau seems to be the kinda place that polarises opinion of expats/tourists here – people either love it or hate it. We get personally get really, really sad (and a little bit offended on Macau’s behalf) when people fall into the latter of those two categories but can fully understand that factors like bad weather, agoraphobia, ochlophobia, an aversion to tackiness or conversely an aversion to historical stuff could put you off. However, we encourage you – short of a breakdown inducing anxiety related disorder – if you are one of the Haters give Macau another go. There is something for everyone and we are happy to give you a personalised tour itinerary W&C styles. You know it’ll be a game changer and the change of scene from Hong Kong is way more pronounced that one initially expect.
One thing that is similar, however, and just as spectacular, is the street art scene. Macau has loads of twisting little alley ways and scruffy looking public squares lurking in its back streets, perfectly lending their barren spaces to all manner of graffiti.
Add a stroll through the art laden streets to your next tour of Macau – you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
So many artists…so much art….wandering around looking for a good place for expression.
This street art is very thought provoking!
That’s the great thing about street art, for sure!
I must confess I fall in the latter category. That’s because all that everyone I go with wants to do is go from one casino resort to another. It gets really boring beyond a point.
Sounds like you need to find different folk to go to Macau with! Seriously, we’ve been there probably 5 or 6 times now and only once have we even been to the resort area…there is SO much more to Macau than that soul-less strip. Hopefully this post inspires you to explore more of Macau’s hidden charms 🙂
It certainly does.
Cool angle on Macau – thanks for sharing!
No problem! We’re starting to think about what other angles we could share…we hate that there are people out there who don’t like the place!!!
Ah, we’re missing pictures of the Baby!
Best, Jenn

Our baby? She hasn’t been to Macau…yet 🙂 Got a few things planned before the end of the HK adventures!
Great stuff! I developed more of an appreciation in Berlin!
Berlin by all accounts has some AMAZING street art! Hopefully we’ll get to see it ourselves one day.
You can come and visit me 😉
